Has Chance to Tie for Crown NASHVILLE, Nov. 30 (Ala bama Justified its bid for the Southeastern conference football championship today by defeating Vanderbflt 7 to 0 but the Crimsons were hard pressed to squeeze a one touchdown margin over the bat tling.

Commodores. To finish its conference cam paign unbeaten and with only an early season deadlock staining its slate, Alabama pushed across the commodore goal late in the second period, Millard (Dixie) Howell lug ging tne leather on a short line slant to culminate a 51-yard advance. Vanderbilt, handed its worst defeat in many seasons a few days ago by Tennessee, rose up in all its might to ward off all but one of the Crimson thrusts and to un loose a running and passing at tack tnat kept Alabama continually worried. Three times the Commodores threatened, only to have penalties and fumbles nn their aspirations. Early in the contest they moved to Aiaoama's 12 to be stopped by a holding penalty.

Only an ever-alert anti-aircraft defense kept the visitors goal protected from the long, winging passed Quarterback Rand Dixon showered in the clos ing periods. The excellent line play nn both sides held down the game's thills to a minimum for the paying customers. Alabama failed to show the offensive power anticipated from a title claimant but with such a tight guard, the single touchdown proved sufficient and will enable the Frank Thomas-coached eleven to clinch the loop crown should Louisiana State, also unbeaten now, lose to either Tulane or Ten nessee, i More than 15,000 fans were in the stands when Vanderbilt made its closest bid in the opening per iod, as Dixon brought a kick back to Alabama's 34 and then led th Commodores, with the aid of two short passes, to Alabama's 12, Here a 15-yard penalty shattered hopes for a touchdown and Throgmorton topped his try for a field goal from placement. KOSCIUSKO SWAMPS MONTGOMERY A.H.S. Whippets Crowned Cham pions of Big Black Region After 60 to 0 Win KOSCIUSKO.

Nov. 30 Koscius ko's sensational Whippet eleven wound up their regular schedule here last night by trouncing the Montgomery Aggies 60 to 0 to ac quire the Big Black regional title. Coach Vic Mett's Aggie aggrega tion were clearly outclassed from the start, but in spite of the overwhelming score, the work- of Ghoson, Castle, Chasteen and Bur- ney was outstanding, with the lat ter carrying all of the offensive burden for the losers. The tilt was exceedingly inter esting from an offensive stand point. Long runs and exciting pas ses thrilled the fans.

Land with a couple of 60 yard jaunts for touch downs, accounted for the longest runs of the afternoon. Fumbes marred the opening of the tilt, and after dropping the oval several times, the Whippets got a break and recovered on their own 20. Land and Hardison- swept up the the field on two end runs to put the ball in a scoring posl tion where Gober carried it over for the touchdown. A few minutes later the Koscius ko aggregation repeated their goal-ward march for another score with Gober again taking it over. For the third marker, Hardison heaved a 30 yard pass to Land and the latter took it over on the next play from scrimmage.

The half cut the Whippet's goal ward march short on the Aggies six yard line. With the lineup filled with reserves to start the second half, Kosciusko goal line was threat ened when Kilmichael took" to the iar. The regulars were rushed Into the fray and held the Aggies tne wnippet's ten yard stripe. With Land, Hardison and Gober lugging the leather, the; Whippets carried the ball down the field for another touchdown. Baker took a pass 35 yards for a score and a few minutes later Har dison raced 40 yards for another' score.

Smith COle Miss) TROUNCE LOYOLA Oslin, Gelsler and Smith Too Much for Wolves, Who Lose 28 to 12 NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 30. (JF) Centenary's Gentlemen from Shreveport, today completed their second consecutive undefeated sea son by sweeping back a challeng ing Loyola of the South eleven 28 to 12 in a thrill-a-minute con test. Loyola had the consolation of being the second team to score on Centenary this year, but the versatile Shreveport aggregation, celebrated for their stout defense, today showed a fast running attack which ran up the score quar ter by quarter. Tied several times in a brilliant two-season drive for national recognition, today's contest was Centenary 20th contest in a row without a defeat.

Statistically, Loyola was out in front with 8 first downs against Centenary's seven, 38 yards gained from scrimmage against Centen ary 96, and three passes com pleted for 32 yards against Cen tenary's one for ten. It was tne sweeping drives of Oslin, Smith, Glumac and Weidman that made up the difference on the score board. Geisler continued to bid for ail- American honors with a careful guarding of his end and quick work in smearing Loyola plays all along the line mixed occasionally with a call back for ball-carrying when the coing got tough. Centenary went out in front early in the game by taking ad vantage of a Loyola fumble which Blakemore, Centenary guard, re covered on the Loyola 24. Driving to the nine, Oslin started around left end, found himself blocked cut back twice and finally skirted the right end to score.

Smith kicked point to make it 7-0. Geisler a moment later led a line punching drive to the Loyola 11 where Loyola dug its toes in and Smith kicked a perfect filed goal from placement. After Geisler had recovered a Loyola fumble on the Loyola 11, Smith1 on the first-play of the second period hit through right guard i or tne second toucnaown. Cainouet, hard running Loyola half, then led a drive Into Cen tenary territory, for Loyola's first first down on the Centenary 40, and Seber broke throuerh to the 25. Caillouet passed to Tuilos 5r first down on the 13 and Cail louet sneaked inside right end for touchdown.

Roy missed the point and the score was 16-6. Showing a burst of punch after Lopez had recovered a Centenary fumble on the Centenary 32, Rizzo, Miller and Joint plunged to the Cen tenary 4, where Kaack, sub end, ran through left tackle for Loyola's second and last score. Roy kick for point was blocked and the half ended 16-12. On one of the most spectacular plays of the game, Glumac early in the third Quarter stood on his own 41 and passed 10 yards to Oslin who sprinted 31 yards to score. Weidman missed the point, Keeoinsr Loyola on the defensive the Gentlemen pushed over their final marker in the fourth quar ter when Glumac recovered Roy's fumble on the Loyola 25 then ducked inside right end to run 25 yards for touchdown.

Olson Says State Ready To Begin Cotton Drive Harris Misses Pass Behind Goal Line in Closing Minutes of Play MERIDIAN, Nov. 30 -The clutch ing fingers of Billy Harris snatched at a football that hurtling through the air to him as he stood behind the Meridian goal line today.

But Billy's grasp was not equal to the task and tne leatner ieii in complete and with it Jackson High's hopes of evading a o-o deadlock with the Wildcats, the second tie score in two years. The referee's whistle ended the game only a few seconds after Har ris had missed the toss from George Fort, and the scoreless tie was marked into the records of the grudge battles between the Capital City and the metropolis of East Mississippi. VanDevender had intercepted a pass from Williams, Meridian back, on Jackson's 35 'yard stripe and raced it back to the Wildcat 35 to break up a Meridian last minute attack. Fort passed to Harris to put the pigskin on Meridian's 10, from where Fort passed to Harris in the end zone. Jackson's last minute effort fur nished the biggest thrill of the game, the only other serious threat to either goal being in the first quarter, when the Cats advanced to the Tiger's ten stripe.

Harris and Covert traded punts throughout the afternoon, with most of the tilt fought near mid-field, except in the first quarter, when. Meridian kept the oval in Tiger practically all of the time. Harris punting furnished the margin by which Jackson was able to keep pace with the Cats in ground gaining, the locals making eight first downs to Jackson's four. Penalties were about Fort," Carmichael and Harris, in the backfield, and Thomas, "Bruiser" Kinard Simpson, In the line, were outstanding' for Jackson.

Captain Hitt led his men back to the at tack with such fury that Choctaw snmvirtcrs felt surees of new home. With the timekeeper's fate ful trinket ticking off the minutes at a rapid rate, Hitt and Cross rode roughshod against the fading autumn sun to hang tip two first downs in a row. Runt Eddleman was rushed into the fray at this juncture to reel off five yards as the curtain fell upon the drama that left spectators pop-eyed and puffing and agreed that they had seen one of the flashiest contests' ever staged on a local field. While both teams rammed mostly at the' line, Captain Hitt for the Choctaws and Magee, Felder and Bowen skirted the ends In a number of colorful cruises. Save for the fourth period scoring sally, play throughout the game was between the two 30-yard stripes.

One of the high lights of the contest came during the Majors late drive when Bob Womack, finding the path besieged by a determined redskin ambuscade, undertook a placement kick from the- 30 yard line. Although the ball had to 50 yards to reach the posts, it failed only because of being a few feet wide and short. First downs favored the Majors by 11 to 9 "with one of the Chocs' coming on a penalty.
